The philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, among others, influenced the development of his art from the late sixties to mid-seventies. Kosuth's work has consistently explored the production and role of language and meaning within art. His nearly forty year inquiry into the relation of language to art has taken the form of installations, museum exhibitions, public commissions and publications throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia, including Documenta V, VI, VII and IX (1972, 1978, 1982, 1992) and the Biennale di Venezia in 1976, 1993 and 1999. Most recently, he exhibited *Il Linguaggio dell'Equilibrio / The Language of Equilibrium* at the Monastic Headquarters of the Mekhitarian Order on the island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni, Venice. This was presented concurrently with the 2007 Biennale di Venezia."},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"[Joseph Kosuth](http://www.skny.com/artists/joseph-kosuth/) werd geboren in 1945 in Toledo, Ohio.

In 1966 werkte hij voor projecten nauw samen met de privé-dealer en curator Seth Siegelaub, samen met kunstenaars als Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler en Lawrence Weiner, voor wat nu bekendstaat als ‘Conceptuel Art’. In 1969 hield Kosuth zijn eerste solotentoonstelling in de Leo Castelli Gallery in New York; dat jaar werd hij ook de Amerikaanse redacteur van het blad Art and Language. \r\n\r\nTussen 1971 en ’72 studeerde hij antropologie en filosofie aan de New School for Social Research in New York. Onder meer de filosofie van Ludwig Wittgenstein beïnvloedde de ontwikkeling van zijn kunst van de late jaren 60 tot midden jaren 70. Kosuths werk heeft consequent onderzoek gedaan naar de productie en de rol van taal en betekenis in kunst. Bijna veertig jaar onderzoek naar de relatie tussen taal en kunst leidde tot installaties, museumtentoonstellingen, openbare aanbestedingen en publicaties in heel Europa, Noord- en Zuid-Amerika en Azië, zoals Documenta V, VI, VII en IX (1972, 1978, 1982, 1992) en de Biënnale van Venetië in 1976, 1993 en 1999.
